The Best Mix and Match System Ever

by Andrew Cheyne

Interval fitness training is by far the best workout you can do for your body. It combines strength and cardio into one intense action packed workout. But one thing you may not think about is the ability to mix and match through interval fitness training.

Just think about it, interval fitness training is nothing more then a bunch of exercises thrown together in 30 second to 1-minute stretches. After a couple exercises are complete you simply let your body catch up and repeat the session.

For that reason you can actually mix and match a bunch of exercises together. Think about it, make a list of exercises that you like, now make a list of exercises that are challenging to you. This works best if you have at least 10 in each list.

Combining Interval training with strength training is a form of training that has been coined turbulence training. Getting all the necessities in one workout so that you get your workout done quickly with a ton of intensity. Often you can have a fantastic workout completed within 45 minutes.

Start your workout with a 5 minute bodyweight warm up. The warm up is not an option it is as much a part of the workout as any other part. After the warm up is complete, move on to the muscle building part of the workout. This will last for approx 20 minute. You can train with barbells or dumbbells or even more bodyweight training. Just one real rule here; no using cheesy equipment. We are looking for intensity, don’t waste your time by slacking on the strength training.

Once done the strength training portion we head straight into the interval fitness portion of the workout. By combining your workout like this you make the most of your time. Getting the most out of your workout and getting in and out of the gym in the least amount of time. No need to spend hours doing cardio, or working out every day of the week.

If you think a lower body workout using only cardio exercises on a bike or stairmaster is enough, you’ve been kidding yourself. Strength training will not only help to tighten and tone the body in conjunction with your cardio program, but it will also increase muscle mass and endurance, and help to prevent deterioration in bone density as you get older.

Exercise benefits everyone no matter what shape they are in. You may have bird legs, or heavy thighs on a pear-shaped body, or be in good condition from swimming or running, but you can still improve your health by doing weight-bearing exercises every week.

Since the large muscles of the lower body comprise over 60 percent of your muscle mass, it is necessary to include a workout to target them. In order to work these muscles properly, they require the use of heavier weights and a higher volume of work than say smaller muscles like the biceps.

Advantages of Free Weight Training

To build strength, Milo the legendary wrestler of ancient Greece prepared for the Olympiad by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the cow was full grown.

Nearby, you can bet there was a woman hauling a 30-lb toddler on her hip who must have been watching and thinking … “muscle head.”

Each of us lifts heavy things as part of our daily lives, be it toddlers, equipment, groceries, or a number of things. Resistance training can make you stronger and these tasks will seem easier.

You don’t have to be an athlete to reap benefits from lifting weights. Anyone who is short of breathe when they walk up a flight of stairs or who just wants to feel and look better can achieve amazing results by adding free weight training to their weekly schedule.

Ladies, don’t ignore biceps training thinking you will replace your flabby arms with unsightly, manly muscles. You won’t!

What you will develop is a beautiful pair of strong and sexy arms that you’ll want to show off in a spaghetti strap dress or a sleeveless top. Toned arms will give you a boost of confidence and you’ll appreciate the increase in strength when toting the tot, hauling a heavy briefcase, or collecting an armload of garden pots.

And during your resistance training, don’t neglect working on your diet as well, which contributes to flabby arms. Bicep exercises will build the muscle underneath the fat, but won’t get rid of it. In order to see more tone and definition, you must get rid of the fat just like any other area of your body—and that’s done through more cardio (jogging, biking, etc.) and eating a proper diet.

So get started on an ongoing routine to develop greater size, strength, and shape in the biceps and in the rest of your body. Work slowly and with enough weight to grow the muscles safely and correctly. Make weight training a lifetime habit and enjoy those great looking arms.
